| | | Exotic annual flowers in urban greenspace
I've put a thread up about the sheffield system of adding annual seed mixes to utility grassland: Annuals in public places
Lots of seeds in there (Iceland poppies, cornflower, various umbellifers, the pink flax, field poppies, Cosmea ...) a few that I can't work out:
First one looks a bit like a Polemonium?   
The final one came in an array of colours!
Any suggestions?
PS: plenty of flowers very little foliage so nothing much in the way of leaves to help ... |

Can't get the feel of first photo.
2 is a North American tickseed, Coreopsis tinctoria
3 is a toadflax, Linaria maroccana which occurs in various cultivars. |

The bottom one is a toad flax of some description. As for the others, the yellow one could be coropsis? Ask Aeshna5 who is very hot up on her flowers!  |

Thanks, folks - of whatever gender - I can see them. Next question: I had assumed that these were annuals but aren't some of these biennials (at least)? I'm just trying to work out how they do this (without doing anything as complicated as asking ...  ). | | |
